Social media is an effective platform for spreading messages. We utilise different platforms to inspire everyone to get involved in our campaigns for wildlife, and you can too!
Tag Somerset Wildlife Trust in your posts and use the relevant campaign hashtag, such as #30DaysWild, to help us reach wider audiences.

As the most used and engaged-with platform in the world, Facebook is an important platform on which to share our campaigns. You can use Facebook to share our content, create posts and stories about our campaigns and to raise money.
One of the best ways to spread messages on Facebook is to post in Somerset-specific groups and pages. Are you part of any Facebook groups in which you can share our campaigns?

By far the best place to start discussions and comment on the work of others is Twitter. This makes it a great tool for campaigning as we can celebrate wins for wildlife, share our work and engage directly with those who we want to lobby on a public platform.
You can promote our campaigns on Twitter by retweeting our tweets and writing your own tweets. By tagging influential people and MPs in your tweets and quoting retweets you can bring them into the conversation, ask them questions and hold them accountable.

As a social media platform which has lots of ways to share content, Instagram is the perfect place to share footage of you and your friends and family taking part in our campaigns. You can share posts to your grid and film stories, reels (videos under 1 minute).
Look out for our stories and highlights (saved stories that appear above our grid) for key campaigns content.
